A game I play when I try to sleep- coming up with the starting sentences of a novel. Some of them are pretty damned good. Of course, since it's an attempt to put myself to sleep, I forget them all. Just like I forget the acres of dialogue that I create in further attempts to amuse myself. Pivotal stuff. Like everything I say. Whatever. Nothing compelling. Nothing.
Just amusing myself. That's all that matters when I'm tired, cranky, bored, and insomnolent.
Just amusing myself...sort of.

One of my favorite first sentences is this: "It began as a mistake."
